An air conditioning system for a vehicle has a plurality of heat enhancing means including at least a hot gas heater cycle for heating air blown into a passenger compartment by directly introducing a discharged gas refrigerant from a compressor into an interior heat exchanger. Additionally, an electric heater is provided as another passenger compartment heating enhancing means. When heat requirements are high (outside air temperature is low), both the hot gas heater cycle and the electric heater are activated, and when the heat requirements decrease, the hot gas heater cycle is deactivated first, and then the electric heater is deactivated. Therefore, the adverse effects of a vehicle compartment temperature that the driver is sensing can be avoided. Additionally, controlling vehicle window fogging associated with an operation of the hot gas heater cycle is possible.
